# The Ashes 2010: Australia's Michael Clarke apologises for not walking after
dismissal by England's Kevin Pietersen
## Australia vice-captain Michael Clarke has said sorry for not walking
immediately after his dismissal in the last over of today's play at the
Adelaide Oval.

[Comments][2]
Clarke, having led [**Australia**][3]'s revival from a precarious 134-3 to a
much healthier 238 for the loss of no further wickets, fell to part-time spin
bowler [**Kevin Pietersen**][4].
Pietersen, who scored a career-best Test score of 227 to help [**England**][5]
to 620-5 declared, struck with his occasional spin to unseat Clarke for 80
after he had looked to be in for the long haul alongside Mike Hussey.
The fourth-wicket pair had given Australia, set 375 to make England bat again,
hope of forcing a draw but the dismissal of Clarke gives the tourists added
impetus heading into the final day of the match.
Australia ended up closing on 238-4 and are now left hoping that the forecast
adverse weather comes to their aid tomorrow in a bid to keep the series level.
Clarke wrote on Twitter: "Just want to apologise for not walking off the
ground tonight when I hit the ball. I was just so disappointed, my emotions
got best of me."

Australia started their second innings brightly, with the first-wicket
partnership of Shane Watson and Simon Katich putting on 84 before the latter
fell, followed by Ricky Ponting and then Watson himself in quick succession.
Watson, who contributed 57 to his side's total, said: "We're going to fight
until the death tomorrow. It's going to be a very tough day of Test cricket
for both sides and we'll fight as long as we have to."
Asked if his side could save the match without the help of the weather, Watson
drew a sharp breath before adding: "Let's hope so."
It was Watson's second half-century in the match, after a 36 and an unbeaten
41 in the first Test, but he believes his knocks are not reflective of how
good he feels out in the middle.
"It would be nice to really capitalise on how I'm feeling out there. I've not
been able to capitalise on my starts so far so hopefully I can turn that
around," he said.
"I feel like I'm in a really good place and my mind is clear but it's just not
working at the moment. I feel like I'm batting really well and getting to a
point and then not being able to go on with it."
Watson, meanwhile, has backed captain Ricky Ponting to bounce back following a
first-innings golden duck and just nine in the second innings.
"He's going pretty well," Watson said. "It's obviously disappointing for him
not to score the runs he wants to and knows he can, but he's a tough man and
he'll come through."
